Both Liz Hurley and Elle Macpherson are reported to be big fans of mineral rich, white clay face masques, which help maintain their fresh, naturally radiant and youthful appearance!
Used regularly as part of a facial skin care routine a White Clay Masque cleanses, exfoliates and stimulates circulation to the skin helping to minimise the signs of ageing and leaving a fresher, more youthful and toned complexion.
Base Formula are launching our Ultra-Fine White Kaolin Clay this month, ideal for making a celebrity style face masque without the ‘celebrity sized’ price tag! Our ultra-fine formula is suitable for all skin types. We recommend blending with White Lotion for dry skin, Aloe Vera & Seaweed Gel for combination and pure water for oily skin. To use, simply make a paste using your chosen blending medium and apply to the skin avoiding eyes and sensitive areas. Our Clay can also be combined with other natural substances such as carrier oils, pure essential oils and hydrolats (floral/flower waters).
And not forgetting nail technicians…
Blend a small amount of Ultra Fine White Clay into hand and nail cream to make a luxury buffing paste. Or for pedicures use it mixed thickly with Aloe Vera to remove dirt and discolouration around the toenail cuticle and under-nail areas.
Salon Marketing Tip: White Clay recipes to boost your business
Offer a complementary treatment at the end of your massages to encourage referrals and attract new clients. For problem/congested skin on the back and shoulders make up a back masque with our Ultra Fine White Clay and warm water, add a few drops of Ravensara and Lavender essential oil and apply to the back with a large soft paint brush. For a relaxing back masque mix with the Clay with Aloe Vera and a few drops of Elemi and Bergamot. For areas of chronic (not acute) pain, blend the Clay with Base Formula’s Muscles Pre-blended Massage Oil (pre-warmed), apply to the area of pain and leave for ten minutes for an intensely therapeutic treatment. This works very well for neck pain and is much safer than manipulating the area. Also good for painful knees, feet and fingers.
